There is said to be a new suicide game in town called the Momo challenge.
Remember the suicide game 'Blue Whale' which was linked to the death of dozens of young people around the world and the players were required to perform a series of exploits for 50 days with the ultimate challenge being suicide? The Momo Challenge is reminiscent of it.
The Momo Challenge has been spreading in several countries across the world, leading police forces to warn parents about the potentially dangerous effects of this disturbing game. It is the latest social media phenomenon that leads unsuspecting teens into a world of violence and pure darkness.
How it works:
“Players” are challenged through Whatsapp and Facebook to contact Momo at an unknown phone number. The teens are then ordered to perform a series of dangerous tasks. Failure to do results in repeated graphic threats that include: Making personal information public, harming family members or casting evil magical curses.
These threats are often accompanied with scary, gory and disturbing pictures. Some teens stated that they received terrifying images during the night while others claimed that the character threatened to materialize overnight to curse them. Other added that they received calls during which they could only hear screaming and terrifying sounds.
The Momo account uses as an avatar a picture of a grotesque woman with bulging eyes.
Though little is known about the actual content of these chat sessions with Momo, experts believe that the exchanges are an exercise in desensitization as players are gradually exposed to hyperviolent pictures and images throughout the challenges.
The challenges also lead to extortion and piracy. Indeed, using various techniques, the people behind Momo were able to access the players’ phones and use their contents for blackmail.
The Momo Challenge was linked to the suicide of a 12-year old girl in Argentina who was in contact with a Momo account. However, police investigation remains inconclusive.
On August 28th, an 18-year old named Manish Sarki was found dead in a livestock shed which had the words “Illuminati” and “Devil’s one eye” scrawled on the wall.
Momo challenge messages were reported in several countries around the world including Mexico, India, Argentina, France, Germany, and Canada. Some messages were reported in the United States, but no reports of harm yet.
Preliminary investigations determined that most of the messages originate from Japan and Mexico. Some sources believe that the “challenge” is most likely a form of “bait” used by criminals to steal data and extort people on the internet.
Another hypothesis is that these kinds of phenomena originate from underground rings of people who are into things that are extremely dark, violent and occult and who revel into leading gullible teenagers into a world of horror, self-harm and ultimately, death.

*These games clearly work on their minds, desensitizing them. It's only a devilish person that can create games like this meant to destroy lives.
Parents please monitor where your children go on the internet; check their phones. You will only be saving their lives. The devil is really out to steal, to kill and to destroy. That is his specialization.
